The effect of uncertainty in design parameters on the acoustic performance of coated plates
and coated shells for maritime applications is presented. The locally resonant coatings are …

Stability is an important and fruitful avenue of research for liquid crystal elastomers. At
constant temperature, upon stretching, the homogeneous state of a nematic body becomes …

This paper develops a stochastic model for the spatially-dependent material parameters
parameterizing anisotropic strain energy density functions. The construction is cast within …

Stochastic elasticity is a fast developing field that combines nonlinear elasticity and
stochastic theories in order to significantly improve model predictions by accounting for …

For monodomain nematic elastomers, we construct generalised elastic–nematic constitutive
models combining purely elastic and neoclassical-type strain energy densities. Inspired by …

Motivated by the need to quantify uncertainties in the mechanical behaviour of solid
materials, we perform simple uniaxial tensile tests on a manufactured rubber-like material …

In large deformations, internally pressurised elastic spherical shells and tubes may undergo
a limit-point, or inflation, instability manifested by a rapid transition in which their radii …

The problem of the Rivlin cube is to determine the stability of all homogeneous equilibria of
an isotropic incompressible hyperelastic body under equitriaxial dead loads. Here, we …

We examine theoretically the dynamic inflation and finite amplitude oscillatory motion of
inhomogeneous spherical shells and cylindrical tubes of stochastic hyperelastic material …

When an elastic tube reinforced with helical fibres is inflated, its ends rotate. In large
deformations, the amount and chirality of rotation is highly non-trivial, as it depends on the …
